Britain\n\nGrants to writers\n\nSponsor's reasons for recommending the writer for a grant:\n\nI have been impressed by Robert Greacen\u2019s recent work,\nespecially his sequence of 'Captain Fox\u2019 poems,and feel\nthat this writer badly needs some relief from economic\npressures and his arduous teaching duties,so that he can\nwrite the sequel to the 'Captain Fox' sequence already\npublished and a second autobiographical volume. After a\nprotracted silence,Greacen has emerged as a remarkable\npoet,who deserves every encouragement and help at a xxxxxx\njuncture that has put some strain on him.\n\nMichael Hamburger\n\n6th AUgust, 1977\n\nNo. 29 9th August '77\nMy dear Derek,\nYou will be interested to see that Michael H has to say about me.\nI've just phoned Howard S. who says he will send a supporting letter.\nI'm asking for \u00a32,000 - not \u00a320,000!!
